HAIR-BUCKLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 29, 1821.

Application filed August 4, 1920. Serial No. 401,264.

To aid 10 7mm it may concern:

Be it known that I, KARL LinBnNow, citizen of Germany, residing atLiibeck, Ger many, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inHair-Buckles, of which the following is a specification, reference beingbad therein to the accompanying drawing.

The invention is a hairbuckle especially for fastening of ribbon loopsto a braid of hair, which is done by pushing the squeezedtogether hairV-shaped through the buckle. According to the invention a tongue fastoned on the frame of the buckle and squeezing the hair into the buckle,is by means of a striker, fastened on the closing plate, pressed intoclosing position and held tight.

On the drawing the new hair buckle is shown in example as follows:

Figures 1 and 2 show the buckle in side view opened and closed.

Fig. 3 is a front View.

Fig. 4 is a perpendicular cross-cut, and

Fig. 5 is an upper-view with opened plate.

To the cross beam of the buckle frame a, consisting of wire, on one sidethe squeezing tongue Z), on the other side the closing plate 0 isturnably fastened. The tongue 6 is lying in length middle of the frame aand can be freely moved through the same. The plate 0, which can bestiffened by long ribs 0 contains an under striker d, the frontspringing part c of the tongue being angular and bent in hook-form, sothat this part catches over the joint box of the tongue Z).

For use the ready tied ribbon loops are fastened to a long beam of theframe a. Hereafter the hair is put on the frame a; of the opened buckleand the tongue I) pushed into the hair and the frame. Now the plate 0 isbrought in closing position, whereby the striker (Z hits on the frontpart of the tongue 7) and holds the same tight, whereon the hook-formedpart c catches over the joint box 7, so that the buckle is closed. Thehair now lies in the known manner V-formed pressed in the buckle,whereby this position is once held by the long beam of the frame a andon the other side by the tongue (Fig. l).

The buckle is totally covered by the loop 9 hanging over the same.

By opening the plate 0 the buckle can be taken off the hair easily.

What I claim is:

1. A hair buckle designed for fastening loops of material to a braid ofhair, comprising a buckle frame with a pivoted tongue, a striker, and aclosing plate pivotally mounted and carrying said striker, whereby thehair is pushed through the buckle in substantially V-form.

2. A hair buckle designed for fastening loops of material to a braid ofhair, comprising a buckle frame with a pivoted tongue, a striker, and aclosing plate pivotally mounted and carrying said striker, whereby thehair is pushed through the buckle in substantially V-form, the saidstriker being an end extension of the closing plate and the strikeradapted to engage the tongue when the plate is forced to its closedposition.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
